God doesn't reveal himself to us and that hurts. Aren't we supposed to be his favourite creation? And when is the last time he appeared to someone as a burning bush or talking ass? And no, bill o'reilly doesn't count.

It's not the atheism that bothers you. You would tell a Bhuddist, "You believe in the teachings of the Bhudda instead of Christ, so you are not exactly like me in every single way, and that hurts." What an intolerant asshole.

And you think being constantly told (with a smug smile) how much god hates me and how much agony I'll be in for all eternity doesn't hurt? Or do you simply think you're the only one on the planet with feelings?
